summertime chill // OPEN (Event)

[nosotros]

Who: Everyone!
Where: Downtown
When: June 24th, evening
Summary: Ice pixies are such jerks
Rating: PG-13

It should have been a nice balmy evening. Instead it's chilly, and only getting colder.

Throughout downtown various civilians are asleep on their feet. In some cases literally. What's more the ice pixies, little humanoid creatures that look like tiny and slightly spiny ice sculptures, are out in force, flitting about in groups of two and three and generally causing problems.

But the citizens of El Sera aren't alone. The magic stirring in the air calls out to the mages and magical boys in the city, seeking to draw them out of their homes and to the defense of the city...

(ooc: Go nuts, guys! You're free to NPC the ice pixies on your own, as I won't have time to reliably do so myself. However, I can provide prompts, IC stumbling blocks, or other tools for you to play with on request!)

[Caution and prudence were both essential. So of course, Mikage had to immediately go and ruin it. Ryu may not be the sort of dragon that Mikage is used to, but that doesn't stop the little pink dragon from letting out a happy chirping 'pyaa!' before launching himself off of Hakuren's shoulder.]

[Hakuren lets out a startled choked noise before chasing after Mikage, but he at least manages to not make more noise than that.]

[amnesiadragon]

[He grins behind the mask as he sees the small dragon, and holds out a hand if he wants to land on it.]

Hello there. What's your name?

[It's directed towards Mikage, but Hakuren is welcome to answer, too.]

[oakleaf]

[Mikage lands immediately and spreads his wings proudly. He announces himself with a cheery 'pya!' and a little puff of fire before Hakuren catches up enough to speak with Ryu.]

His name is Mikage. [Hakuren slows from a light jog to a sedate walk, giving Ryu a thorough once over. He doesn't seem bad...]

[amnesiadragon]

[Oh... he's really cute. He gently pets him with his other hand.]

Mikage? That's a nice name. I'm Ryu, Mikage.

[He looks up at Hakuren, and smiles.]

Is he a friend of yours?

[oakleaf]

[Mikage trills in delight when Ryu pets him, his bunny-like ears twitching this way and that.]

Not quite. [Hakuren crosses his arms as he speaks.] I'm watching him for a friend of mine.

[amnesiadragon]

Aw. I'm sure he'd like to have more friends!

[Why so cute...]

[oakleaf]

[Mikage certainly seems to agree with that sentiment, because he trills even louder. Hakuren can't help but smile.]

He's something of a social butterfly, true.

[amnesiadragon]

[He nods and pets him again - but his expression freezes when he hears something. A pack of fairies fly near them, and one shoots some ice at Ryu. He gives Mikage a little nudge so he can fly back to his friend, and turns to face them.]

Please stop. You're hurting peop -

[A blast of cold air is his answer, and he draws his sword, before sticking it into the ground and gathering energy, releasing a burst of fire that goes for the closest fairy.]

[oakleaf]

[Mikage flutters back over to Hakuren diligently, though once he lands he lets out a challenging puff of fire in the pixies' direction. Hakuren himself holds out his hand and sends a short burst of zaiphon at the group, sending one of the creatures fluttering away from its companions.]

I don't think they want to listen.

[amnesiadragon]

I don't think so either.

[He lets out a deep breath, and goes to attack the lone fairy, dashing over to slice into it with his sword.]
